It's important to look at the 1619 project in a larger context and the larger context is what we at Claremont conceive as a regime level conflict between what we're calling multiculturalism, other people call identity politics and traditional America.

And a regime is a way of life that has a particular end.

And in the case of multiculturalism, the end. And in the case of multiculturalism, the end is outcome parity among various identity groups defined by race or sex or whatever and by outcome parity I mean each of these

groups would have the same number of chief executive officers and senators and firefighters and

soccer players. That's the end. But that's an end that cannot exist peacefully with the traditional American end which seeks the preservation

of rights for individuals,

because in that kind of society,

a society guided by nature,

there will always be group differences differences and in particular there will be differences

between men and women and because those differences need to be eliminated according to multiculturalism

that imposes on multiculturalism the need for political correctness and all constraints that are necessary to

try to achieve outcome parity.

So 1619 project is part of this overall multicultural project

destroy America because what it seeks to do in reframing American history around slavery is to reinforce

the multicultural view of society that you being all identity groups oppressed by white

male.

So what the multiculturalists want to do is describe our history in those terms.

It wants us to conceive of ourselves as a society or identity groups are oppressed.

And like all the palletarian regimes,

one of the most important elements of success is to reconceive history in a way that comports with

its understanding, the totalitarian regime's understanding of society.

So, 1619 is part of a larger culture war.
